Have you learned any new tricks since joining Eden?

Contributor: Owl Identified Owl Identified
I'm wondering if anyone else has - as a result of joining Eden - discovered new sexual proclivities or been turned on to new kinks or kinds of play that are now major parts of their sex life. I'm not just talking about trying anal play for the first time after finding Eden, but say, trying anal and then having it become a major part of your life.

For me after coming here I really discovered and came to really love pegging and prostate play with my partner. We had done pegging pre-Eden, but since trying new toys and engaging in many discussions here, it's become a central part of our play as well as a main kink or area of interest for myself.

How about you?

I would say that I learned some new tips and tricks for getting the most out of toys.

I had only had sex a couple of times before I joined Eden, so I've definitely learned a lot and discovered many new things since then. For example, I'd never tried toys, anal sex, or bondage. I wouldn't really say those are major parts of my sex life though. I'm also not how much of it is due to Eden and how much was just my natural exploration.

When I get my Joque, I'll let you know.

I swear, it's so hard to choose!! Do I get the Liberator ramp and wedge? Or do I get the Goodfella? Or do I get the Joque? ARRRGH. LOL I think we're going with the Goodfella this time, even though I really REALLY want that liberator set.

I always read about the G-spot and knew that the wife liked it stimulated but never really knew how to go about stimulating it. So that is a big plus.

When I first came here I was looking for a P-spot massager, I never even thought about having the wife use one on me, every thing I read always talked about going solo with them. Pegging was not something I had heard about outside of the BDSM scene and never even thought about it being done for simple pleasure.

I think being at Eden also changed my partner's and my perception of pegging. Though we are into the BDSM/power exchange potential in pegging, we had never considered engaging in pegging just as another form of "vanilla" sex. After doing it for well over two years, we definitely regard it more as a neutral sexual act that can be imbued with power or left as is.

I think a lot of the BDSM/power exchange association came from a deep-seeded notion that men "receiving" in any way is inherently submissive. I've always thought of myself as very progressive sexually, but until I started pegging on a regular basis with a partner that I was intimately involved with on an emotional level, I never realized that my socialization ran quite deep. After many conversations and a variety of different kinds of experiences with prostate stimulation and pegging, the stigma has been fully stripped from the act. Of course, we still like to play around with the stigma sometimes, but that's a different story

I wouldn't say EF has changed my interests so much as allowed me to open up to ones I already had. It's infinitely easier to say to yourself (or your partner) "Hey, look at all these people who also get off on X". It makes it okay to try pain play, or double penetration with a bit of reassurance that it's an okay thing to enjoy. Sex positivity is wonderful!

EF has opened my eyes to a whole world of sex toys that I never even dreamed about. I'm still experimenting and learning, but I suspect that at least one of the things that I discovered here will become a major part of my life.

Since I joined EF, my husband has told me that he wants me to whip him and stuff and we've started experimenting with that. It seems like it may become a significant aspect of our sex lives.

Just starting with blindfolds and restraints - we'll see where it goes.

I also wanted to add that I learned so much about toy materials here. Other online sex toy retailers provide almost no information about materials. Maybe they'll tell you what the toy is made of, but they won't tell you anything else about the material (i.e. safety, porosity, care and cleaning, etc.)

I've learned a lot about toys, like Yaoi, with the materials and what's good and what isn't, and while I've learned a few new techniques, they're nothing that interests me too much.

As a women who loves to peg, it just got tons better since EF, in that I got so much better and confident with better and more secure strap-ons, which are available from the Ef site.
In addition my partner often choosing a harness, lubes a dil and brings it out is something I never imagined.
In addition, we discovered a few surprises about pegging which I am writing about; stay tuned!

I used to think that if a toy didn't work for me it was my body. Obviously not the case, for example rabbit vibes rarely work for me.

You guys have made a definite difference and soothed my mind.
My boyfriend before asked me to put my vibrator in his ass and I was like "AUGH" *insert Charlie Brown anguish*
Like just my luck right, meet a nice guy and he's gay. But then I started dabbling around on EF... and he's not gay.
Talking with guys like Dwtim, I found out how helpful it actually is for him and it doesn't make him gay in the least bit.
We've done it like once, but now my heart isn't pounding.
Same thing with anal too, lol.

Plus I've learned that not every toy is for everybody. And that it's not that I'm broken I'm just different. ^_^


Plus, my blowjobs have improved. Plus, my wild side is coming out more he says, lol.

THIS. I used to be far more self conscious that certain acts or positions didn't do it for me, but I now realize that the female body is just a very diverse thing...well, all bodies are, actually!

"Like, just my luck right, meet a nice guy and he's gay." LOL I'm glad people here were able to help you with that! I've learned to enjoy anal stimulation for myself a lot more as well from this site.

Ideas about lubes, toys and even folks opinions about different materials for making toys have certainly influenced us. The biggest thing, however, is a daily exposure to a very "sexually charged" environment....which is what the FORUM is...together, has certainly added more fuel to our already hot sex life. THANKS EF...thanks FORUM members!!!!

Great answer, but notice, everyone here is pretty darned open. No one really will judge you, and YOUR experience may be of benefit to others!!! You can stay real quiet...it's cool, but never feel intimidated or shy at this site. Everyone here is here for the same reason...to share what may not be "usual" to share elsewhere. It is really liberating and WHATEVER your "kinks" or "activities", you may learn here that you are FAR from alone!!! ENJOY!!!

Bought a Liberator throe as a first sex toy, looking to help my wife squirt without worry about damaging the mattress. The throe boasted of being able to protect against more than squirt. Massage oils and lube for instance, leading to an odyssey of Eden Fantasy knowledge about things like amount of lube necessary for anal play, which piqued a curiosity...the odyssey continued, one thing lead to another and now daily plug use at a minimum, always ready for a pegging.

I haven't come into anything new, myself. I've always tried to keep an open mind and let whatever interests me, interest me, so if something ever comes up, I'll spend some time with it. But that hasn't happened at all in the recent past and so far Eden's just made me think more about some things, and given me new perspectives
